today the glitterbomber is... |
2003-06-06 so. i�m exhausted and stressed and burned out once more. this does not surprise me. i often feel as if i�m not doing enough, but sometimes i think i�m doing too much. i broke down last night because i was so tired. my poor boy had to listen to me cry about how much i need a break from everything. we�d talked before about maybe going away somewhere, and we�re going to revisit the subject again this weekend. i don�t care so much where we go or for how long. i just need a break. trying to juggle one and a half jobs, something of a personal life, and a long-distance relationship takes its toll on me sometimes. how do i deal without removing something from the equation? this weekend is my chance to relax �cause my boy™ will be here. this is something like the sixth weekend in a row we�ve seen each other. a record by far. the downside is that we�ve gotten used to it, so next weekend will be more difficult since we won�t be seeing each other. a bright spot today was getting a check for the vacation days i hadn�t used up at my last job. it took since the end of october to get it (partly my fault and partly theirs), but it came at the right time. now i can pay the speeding ticket i got in canada a couple weeks ago. my cat has a toy that my sister and i dubbed �yucky mouse.� i�ve probably mentioned it before. it�s an ancient plush mouse that�s like a security blanket for her. it�s kind of crusty and has no eyes. it�s just a vague mouse shape with thread whiskers. it used to have a pink ribbon tail with a smashed bell at the end. i say �used to� because tonight yucky mouse got too close to the vacuum cleaner. oops. that tail was pulled off in a flash. i feel unbelievably bad about it, but i don�t think kitty noticed (or cared). after holding back from dying my hair since probably last summer, i colored it tonight. my reason for not dying it was because i want my hair to grow in healthier, but my roots were starting to annoy me. i used a temporary color that�s supposed to be good for the hair. it�s supposed to be a burgundy color, but it�s still wet, so i�ll have to wait until the morning to see the outcome. *** the friday five: *** quotes of the day: *** np: nightmares on wax �ethnic majority� |
